Study explains how liver regeneration may help treat liver disease in mice

Other vertebrates, such as fish and lizards, can regenerate organs more effectively than mammals. Salk researchers have discovered a mechanism to partially restore the young condition of liver cells, allowing them to repair damaged tissue at a quicker rate than previously thought.

Study shows the role of mucosal-associated invariant T cell in mucosal melanomas patients

Many cancer patients have benefited from the development of anti-cancer immunotherapy drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, but patients with mucosal melanomas—melanomas that occur in the mucous membranes of the head, neck, eyes, respiratory system, and genitourinary region rather than on the skin—are highly resistive to immune checkpoint inhibitors for reasons researchers do not fully understand.
